There's a solar eclipse coming to some of the Western Hemisphere tomorrow - and a Black Badge Ghost to mark it
Never let it be said that Rolls-Royce doesn't put 110 per cent into everything. This car is the Black Badge Ghost Ekleipsis Private Collection, there will only be 25, they’re all allocated and it is inspired by ‘the drama, spectacle and mystery of a solar eclipse.’ Now, a lesser manufacturer might have taken that as an excuse to introduce a new colour, or change the interior ever so slightly , but not Rolls-Royce.

The colour is most obviously also found on the leather , plus accented outside including the hand-painted coach line. And that exterior paint is not just black for a Black Badge - oh no. It’s actually Lyrical Copper, which features powered copper pigment that only really pops when it catches the light.
CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos added: “With Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost Ékleipsis, we draw inspiration from a total solar eclipse: a seldom-seen and spellbinding phenomenon that reflects the rarity and beauty of Rolls-Royce Private Collections… We are exceptionally proud to present these motor cars to 25 of our most significant clients around the world – it is these individuals who inspire greatness within our brand, and who drive us to create ever more bold and richly detailed expressions of...
